Maybe. Our interviews (small company, of which i help dictate the tech interviews) don't require any arbitrary skill check, unless we feel we have to. Generally they're conversations about a the language/tech that attempt to assess the persons depth of knowledge. Self admittedly i am not informed on hiring. The position was sort of thrown on me heh. But my view was that i wanted to find a way to be a "good company", and so far it feels to have worked (in my view). No mistakes after ~15 hires. Would i pass my own interview though? Not sure. The depth of knowledge is reasonable, since i craft my own questions i know the answers, but they are not standardized. They are tailored per resume. So depending on how i read my own resume, i might come up with questions that i don't answer adequately.
